Topic starter  

how *ing ed is this scenario:

let people play a game where you simulate mass murder, stabbing, blowing people up and generally show the worst of humanity…yet not let people say ‘*’.

what on earth is logical about blocking the word ‘*‘ or ‘shit’? you dont block the word ‘intercourse’ or ‘poo’ yet they have exactly the same meaning. you dont block the words ‘wow’ or ‘damn’ yet they are used in the exact same situations.

cake hear ‘but kids might play, so we cant have them seeing bad language’. well quite frankly – if u think a kid shouldnt see ‘*’ then a kid probably shouldn’t see 1940s soldiers being burned alive.

acting like swear words cause harm is massively illogical and about the prime of stupidity on its own. but couple that with the disproportionate willingness to casual violence and you have yourself the height of ******.

cake not going to return to server until swear filter removed entirely. if its removed cake will come back and donate money aswell. cake really have problem with stupid things like this and who ever thought of it should feel awful and bad and cry for upsetting cake.

At least you only lose some health, you used to get auto-smuted by the admins.
I used to spend entire maps in silence for saying 3 swear words.

In those days men were men.

Im with cake on this, the filter is trying to solve a problem that didn’t exist, all the while alienating regulars. Im all for stamping out excessive verbal abuse but there is a difference between abusive behavior and swear words; these situations need to be dealt with individually not with some blanket filter.

It seems the only time the admins come on the server these days is to fiddle with it. We need active admins who understand the game and the people who play it. If you came on the server regularly you would realise the majority of players are 18+ who enjoy a bit of banter and sledging. I see online gaming as an extension of the internet and its one of the caveats of the internet that you’re gonna see a whole bunch of shit that you never planned on seeing good or bad. Its not even the fact that I can’t call someone a <unt anymore, its more to do with the principle of censorship and freedom of speech.

PS: cake come back ( I <3 muffins)

^^^ MAIN POINT.

+ Remove heavy wep SK rule. None of the regulars want it.

I think the regulars needs more input on these issues. It’s a broken system having admins that never play on the server making these sorts of decisions. Advertise a particular proposal on the server, and then get regulars to come on to the forums to vote on a referendum. Enough of this North Korean dictatorship ffsfscFSSfs.
